YOU'LL ANSWER TO ME
(Music: Sherman Edwards / Lyrics: Hal David)


Patti Page - 1961
Cleo Laine - 1961
Jean Campbell - 1961
Siw Malmkvist - 1961 (Swedish title "Det Ansvar Du Har")




Love him long or let him be
If you hurt him, you'll answer to me


Your reputation follows you to town
The hearts you have broken are scattered all around
In just a few days you and your smooth ways
Stole the only love  I ever had


You'd better love him long or let him be
If you hurt him, you'll answer to me


The sound of your sweet talk stole his love away
You've got him believing everything you say
Oh yes, you can take him, but if you forsake him
You'll regret the day that you were born


You'd better love him long or let him be
If you hurt him, you'll answer to me
